The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Form E-2, commonly known as the Letter of Intent / Schedule of Participation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Participation form, is a critical document designed to promote inclusivity and equitable participation in state-sanctioned construction projects. This comprehensive form serves as a declaration by general contractors of their commitment to subcontracting part of their awarded project to certified disadvantaged business enterprises, including minority and women-owned firms. It requires detailed information such as the name of the project, the project number, and specifics about the participating DBE contractor, including the name, address, and contact information. The form mandates a transparent outline of the intended scope of work, the financial participation of the DBE, and a formal affirmation that the DBE's certification is current and valid. Furthermore, it necessitates a good faith effort from general contractors to meet or exceed the project-specific DBE participation goals set by local plans, reinforcing MassDOT's commitment to fostering diverse and inclusive business opportunities within the state's transportation infrastructure sector. The requirement to fill this form in its entirety and submit it alongside relevant DBE certification documentation emphasizes the formalities necessary for ensuring compliance and adherence to MassDOT's broader objectives for DBE participation. By mandating such structured and detailed submissions, MassDOT underlines the critical importance of integrating disadvantaged businesses into the economic fabric of the state's public works projects.
